English Abstract

One of the major obstacles that face researchers in the automatic Arabic text recognition field is the lack of a public large-scale comprehensive Arabic text database. Such database saves the researcher’s time and effort since he will not be enforced to create a private database that most probably will not cover most of the aspects of real life written communications. Moreover, the public large-scale comprehensive Arabic text database can act as a benchmark database. Through this benchmark database, the research results of different researchers can be tested and verified. In addition, the different techniques and researches can be compared. The aim of this work is to construct such database for printed Arabic text with the idea of future extension in mind. This work includes software that makes the manipulation of the created database easier.
